We had a huge response to our ‘This Sporting Life’ photography competition sponsored by Harkila and we would just like to to say a huge thank you to all those who took the time to enter. We had hundreds of wonderful entries to sift through and the calibre of entries was extremely high. However, after much deliberation, we are very pleased to announce that we have chosen our winner. A ginormous congratulations goes to George Gunn for his stunning photograph which we felt truly portrayed the country sporting life.
